Kerry's hidden advantage in the Polls
Advertisements [?]
We're being bombarded by more and more polls yet all the pundits are ignoring the cell-phone polling issue as well as new voter registrations.

In addition, all indications point to a much higher turnout than we've seen in the past few elections. Conventional wisdom has always been that the Democrats benefit if the turnout is bigger.

Another group that isn't being polled is the active duty military which is unlikely to be as solidly behind Bush as previous.

It all adds up to an advantage for Kerry that the polls are not revealing. I believe it could be anywhere from an additional 2-6 points which could be huge come November 2.
